I have the following problem:
2 years ago I did a Qbasic program which calculated a graphic, show this graphic on the screen and then the graphic is sended to Printer.
The statement I used was << SHELL "prtscr.exe" >> where ptrscr.exe y a program which capture the screen and send the data screen to the Printer. Now, under Windows XP the program does not work and I donīt know why? I was thinking about updating the DOS command Graphics Graphic but I donīt know if it is in Windows XP.
Another thing I would like to know is how can I decompile the Turbo Pascal "printscr.exe" program in order to implement it in qbasic.
Thank you

There was another post located here http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread636.html regarding the same question. It turns out that QBASIC is a 16-bit language, just like Windows 3.1 was. Windows 95 and above were 32-bit with 16-bit support. Starting with Windows XP, however, Microsoft has decided to strip the 16-bit support. Therefore, your Qbasic programs unfortunately won't be able to run in WindowsXP. The only option, unfortunately, is to perhaps migrate over to Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic.NET

THERE!!! Under recent study one member on this site suggested using DOSBox. I've combined both DOSBox-0.63 and QBasic 4.5 together to create QBasicXP. It works PERFECTLY! I have only one problem with it. The help file that tells u the codes is not working but as long as u know the codes or if u can get a tutorial from somewhere else you will be fine. Here is the link
